Brandon Moreno’s patience is being tested while he waits for his next UFC assignment, and he hopes the promotion will come through with something for him soon.
After suffering a hand injury in his title-fight loss to Alexandre Pantoja at UFC 290 in July, Moreno (21-7-2 MMA, 9-3-2 UFC) is now 100 percent healthy. He has been for some time, and was originally targeting a return to the octagon in December. He didn’t get it, and now he’s just waiting for a date – and sees Amir Albazi (17-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) as his likely foe.
“They told me Amir,” Moreno told MMA Junkie in an interview facilitated by his sponsors at Cuervo. “They told me about December, but nothing was real, nothing was official. So right now I’m waiting for a specific name to make it official. I know Amir is there. I think it’s the most logical fight in line for me with Amir. The winner can fight for the title in the next one. I know Amir is there.”
